Fentons is great big space with just classically great flavors. They have all the classics plus a bunch of fun flavors. It’s not salt and straw crazy but tons of really good options.
I got a cherry ice cream that was just great. Worth going to.

BLT phenomenal! Sourdough buttered and toasted perfectly. Bacon slightly thick, but crispy. The lettuce was crisp, tomatoes were a smidge over ripened. Large portion sizes on everything I saw the wait staff bring out. Large selection of Icecream options, also generously served. Restaurant extremely crowded and loud. The wait staff is amazing; excellent knowledgeable of the menu, they work together (doesn’t matter who the assigned wait person is, they help out), good old fashioned customer service.
Parking is horrible.

The ice cream is legendary, but if I’m being honest, the service usually sucks. I get my ice cream to go because the servers rarely get the order right, and they seem bothered to have to serve you. My all time favorite ice cream is their toasted almond. If you love hot caramel on your ice cream, they have some of the best here. It’s definitely worth a stop, just dine in at your own risk.

Great burgers (my husband ate the burger before I can take a photo), fries are crisp and the onion rings have a great tasting batter!!! Service is friendly and prompt! They deserve your gratitude; tip them in cash! Oh, we shared a petite ice cream, vanilla scoope with chocolate and caramel on the side (I ate it before I could take a photo ). You know how that goes; enjoy when you get around to visiting with them.

Took my grand children for a treat. Food and service was good. Children got crayons and menus they could color.
Sorry about the pictures I hadn’t planned on posting originally.

We had a great experience at Fentons Creamery in Piedmont! Along with their famous ice cream, we ordered the crab sandwich and the burger, and both were absolutely delicious. The crab sandwich was fresh and flavorful, and the burger was juicy and cooked just right.
What really stood out was the warm and welcoming service — the host made us feel right at home. It’s amazing how after all these years, Fentons still maintains its iconic charm and high-quality food. A true Bay Area classic that never disappoints!
Highly recommend for a casual meal or a nostalgic treat.

Huge samples and servings. Great ice cream. Four day trip to Oakland, ice cream each day, and this was my wife’s favorite. Maybe the first time I’ve ever felt like I got too much ice cream. The cookies and cream and coffee cookies were amazing. 10/10 will go back (a lot).

My family and I have been going here for a decade I can’t believe I hadn’t made a review on fentons before ♂️. Best place for ice cream and you can dine in or walking and walk out with your scoop.
Your kids will love it it’s worth a drive.
Parking is a little difficult but if you don’t mind walking down the street there’s a public parking lot.

People rave about the genuinely delicious, high-quality, handmade ice cream, generous servings, and excellent service, making it a go-to spot for a superior dessert experience. Friendly, fun staff, clean shops, cute decor, and comfy seating (indoor/outdoor).Texture: Creamy, rich, dense, not too airy, with quality ingredients.

We were afraid of the long wait at first but it was pretty quick. Cherry ice cream and blueberry cheesecake ice cream are so good.
